MILWAUKEE, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — BOLT «Breakthrough One-Key Lock Technology» Lock has expanded its product line with a new swivel Locking Recovery Hook. 

Manufactured from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the new BOLT Locking Recovery Hook has a 10,000 lb. capacity and is designed to be 99-percent faster than other ¾-inch shackle type hooks due to the product’s unique latching mechanism. The top portion does not need to be unscrewed in order to loop the tow strap; the tow strap simply slides easily into place over the hook.  It fits standard 7/8″ bumper tabs, winches and recovery straps.

The BOLT lock cylinder is located on the hook itself, which prevents the pin used to attach the hook to the vehicle from moving freely when locked in order to protect the product from theft. 

BOLT Locks are permanently programmed to the vehicle’s ignition key the first time the key is inserted into the BOLT cylinder.  When the ignition key is inserted into the BOLT cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down to uniquely code the cylinder to that specific key.

The new BOLT swivel Locking Recovery Hook weighs 3.5 lbs. and has an MSRP of $259.99.

«Off-road enthusiasts finding the need to winch themselves or their friends from precarious predicaments will appreciate the convenient security of our lock technology that uses just one key, the vehicle’s ignition key, to secure our hook to the bumper,» explained Jason Buckles, sales manager for BOLT Lock.  «We are excited to partner with Monster Hooks Inc. to bring this product to market.  Monster Hooks is known for their robust design and superior quality that ensures their customers will enjoy many years of rugged use.  We are proud to incorporate our innovative technology into this high-quality product.»

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Get ready to become the next trick shot superstar: Alley Hoopster – The Sick Shot Trick Shot Kit launches today on Kickstarter. The kit includes everything you need to create your own mind-bending, viral trick shots: a power-adjustable ball launcher, two angled backboards, a strap-in shot booster, a go-anywhere hoop, and jumbo ping-pong balls, all specially designed and tested for maximum bounciness and consistency.

The team and TJass have partnered with a world-class toy and game manufacturer, as well as a premier logistics company, so all the pieces are coming together—high quality and quick delivery will be no issue. But, it’s more about having fun than anything else.

«We think anybody could have a great time with this product,» Tim said from his Chicago home while sinking an impressive trick shot. «It’s a great game for kids, sure. But look at me—I’m having a blast over here.»

The funding goal is an ambitious $15,000 and will run from January 19 – February 12. The game will retail for $49 but is available to Kickstarter supporters starting at $34 plus shipping.

Cayman Kelly Shares His Top Five Tips for Working Toward Your Dream in 2021

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Author and radio personality Cayman Kelly recently outlined his top tips for planning and achieving personal goals, to help his fans usher in a beneficially transformative New Year. Author of the #1 Bestselling Amazon memoir, «<a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Author and radio personality Cayman Kelly recently outlined his top tips for planning and achieving personal goals, to help his fans usher in a beneficially transformative New Year. Author of the #1 Bestselling Amazon memoir, «From $6 an Hour to a Million Dollar Dream,» Cayman has long served as a role model who helps people understand that they have the power to change their lives and achieve a brighter future. With humble beginnings as a minimum-wage worker with big aspirations – later leveraging his talent and million-dollar voice to achieve success – Cayman’s own journey is a testament that he lives what he preaches.

When asked about the potential for 2021, Cayman remarked: «If any year is ready for a series of upshifts and positive changes, it would be 2021. We’ve all been through so much this past year, with the pandemic just making everything more difficult for folks. But now is a good time to take a long, hard look at your life, see what changes you want to make, and begin to shift events in your daily routine to move closer to where you want to be. Positive goals take positive action. And every journey toward something better starts with a few simple steps.»

Cayman Kelly’s Top Five Tips for Working Toward Your Dream

  1. Set goals, take positive action, and begin building a network of support.
  2. Deal with the haters and naysayers in your life.
  3. Properly define and understand success, while you learn from failure.
  4. Keep yourself sharp, while avoiding stagnation and burnout.
  5. Stay true to your own unique gifts and purpose.

«Good parents always tell their kids that they should follow their dreams, that they can achieve anything they want in this life,» Cayman said. «But how do we expect our kids to actually do that if we aren’t modeling that same behavior ourselves? If we stay stuck in a job we hate, or in a relationship that is toxic, or if we completely give up, we teach our kids to do the same. The first move to living a better life has to start with action, while also removing negative influences in your life.»

«Relationships are a big key to getting to a positive place in your life – a place where you can begin to launch actionable plans for a happier future. Skills are important too. My skills were crucial to helping me get to where I am. But it was keeping a good attitude, and fostering genuine relationships with important, trustworthy people that ultimately helped me open a lot of doors.»

RE/MAX National Housing Report for December 2020

DENVER, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — December home sales increased 6.2% over November and 21.9% year-over-year, capping a record-breaking second half of 2020 that set new overall monthly benchmarks for most sales, highest price, lowest inventory and quickest closings.

<iframe id="PlayMedia_1422591" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/playmedia/1422591/December_2020_Housing_Report_V1_small.html"…

DENVER, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — December home sales increased 6.2% over November and 21.9% year-over-year, capping a record-breaking second half of 2020 that set new overall monthly benchmarks for most sales, highest price, lowest inventory and quickest closings.

Although December is typically a month with fewer sales, December 2020 ranked 5th in highest number of home sales for the year – and its sales exceeded all but two months of 2019.

«The very strong sales total in December – over 20% higher than a year earlier – reflects just how frenzied the market was as we entered 2021. And when you look at the entire last half of the year, you see sky-high demand for housing across the country,» said Adam Contos, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. «Buyers are dismissing the potential constraints of rising prices and limited inventory to boldly move ahead with their plans to purchase and own a home. We think that says a lot about the lasting appeal of homeownership.

«Many people want to own their home, not rent, and the low interest rate environment is helping them do it. We expect to see more sellers enter the market this year as they take advantage of the favorable conditions and the greater mobility of working remotely. That, along with gains in construction, would help create more options for buyers, leading to what could be a very big year for sales.»

Down 17.9% from November 2020 and 33.0% from December 2019, December 2020 established a record low for inventory in the 13-year history of the report. It also set multiple new December records: 

  • Average Days on Market of 37, over two weeks less than the 53 days a year ago.
  • Median Sales Price of $290,000 – up 9.4% year-over-year.
  • Months of Supply of Inventory at 1.8, which was less than half of December 2019’s 3.9.

After the pandemic’s initial impact on the housing market last spring and early summer, 2020 ultimately posted a number of highlights in the report’s history:

  • Home Sales: 5 of the top 10 months of sales since 2008 occurred in 2020 – July (the new record), August, September, October and December
  • Inventory: 7 of the top 10 months with the lowest inventory; August through December became the five lowest months in report history, with each month’s inventory lower than the previous month’s  
  • Days on Market: 5 of the top 10 months with the report’s fewest Days on Market; September through December comprise the four months with the fastest average time for listing to sale
  • Median Sales Price: 9 of the top 10 months with the highest Median Sales Price; at $290,000, August, November and December tied with the highest mark in report history

Highlights and the local markets leading various metrics for December 2020 include:

Closed Transactions 
Of the 53 metro areas surveyed in December 2020, the overall average number of home sales is up 6.2% compared to November 2020, and up 21.9% compared to December 2019.  Leading the year-over-year sales percentage increase were Los Angeles, CA at +42.7%, New York, NY at +40.6%, and Hartford, CT at +39.0%.

Median Sales Price – Median of 53 metro median prices
In December 2020, the median of all 53 metro Median Sales Prices was $290,000, flat from November 2020, and up 9.4% from December 2019. None of the metro areas saw a year-over-year decrease in Median Sales Price. Thirty-six metro areas increased year-over-year by double-digit percentages, led by Augusta, ME at +26.6%, Boise, ID at +23.8%, and Detroit, MI at +19.2%.

Days on Market – Average of 53 metro areas
The average Days on Market for homes sold in December 2020 was 37, up one day from the average in November 2020 and down 16 days from the average in December 2019. The metro areas with the lowest Days on Market were Omaha, NE at 17, and a two-way tie between Boise, ID and Cincinnati, OH at 19. The highest Days on Market averages were in Des Moines, IA at 93, Miami, FL at 84, and New York, NY at 71. Days on Market is the number of days between when a home is first listed in an MLS and a sales contract is signed.

Months Supply of Inventory – Average of 53 metro areas
The number of homes for sale in December 2020 was down 17.9% from November 2020 and down 33.0% from December 2019. Based on the rate of home sales in December 2020, the Months Supply of Inventory decreased to 1.8 compared to 2.1 in November 2020 and decreased compared to 3.9 in December 2019. A six months supply indicates a market balanced equally between buyers and sellers. In December 2020, of the 53 metro areas surveyed, two metro areas, Miami, FL and Indianapolis, IN reported a months supply at or over six, which is typically considered a buyer’s market. The markets with the lowest Months Supply of Inventory were a two-way tie between Albuquerque, NM and Boise, ID at 0.6, and Salt Lake City, UT at 0.7.

The first Report was distributed in August 2008. The Report is based on MLS data in approximately 53 metropolitan areas, includes all residential property types, and is not annualized. For maximum representation, many of the largest metro areas in the country are represented, and an attempt is made to include at least one metro from each state. Metro area definitions include the specific counties established by the U.S. Government’s Office of Management and Budget, with some exceptions.

Definitions
Transactions are the total number of closed residential transactions during the given month. Months Supply of Inventory is the total number of residential properties listed for sale at the end of the month (current inventory) divided by the number of sales contracts signed (pended) during the month. Where «pended» data is unavailable, this calculation is made using closed transactions. Days on Market is the number of days that pass from the time a property is listed until the property goes under contract for all residential properties sold during the month. Median Sales Price is the median of the median sales prices in each of the metro areas included in the survey.  

MLS data is provided by contracted data aggregators, RE/MAX brokerages and regional offices. While MLS data is believed to be accurate, it cannot be guaranteed. MLS data is constantly being updated, making any analysis a snapshot at a particular time. Every month the RE/MAX National Housing Report re-calculates the previous period’s data to ensure accuracy over time. All raw data remains the intellectual property of each local MLS organization.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Avid military historian, Mark Downer pens his first novel that will be released for sale and distribution February 2, 2021. 

An action-packed World War II historical fiction thriller that takes the reader around the world and a peek into the underworld of international art dealing.

In the spring of 1945, on the eve of the Allied victory in war-torn Europe, an unmarked German transport plane crash lands deep in the rugged Swiss Alps, and with it is buried one of the greatest single collections of World War II stolen artwork never recovered. 

Lying undisturbed in its rocky tomb for over half a century, a family member’s deathbed disclosure and war memorabilia hold the key to the existence and dormant location of this incredible treasure. 

Subsequently, one man’s quest to locate the crash site is unwittingly exposed, and the race to recover the find of a lifetime becomes a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that weaves together an eclectic cast of characters in an international web of intrigue, murder, mystery, and surprise.

Author Bio
Blessed…and cursed with the creative gene, Mark Downer has always found writing to come naturally, a trait inherited from his father, who he touts as a truly remarkable wordsmith.  Having always felt the urge to write and attempt to produce commercially successful prose, the dictates of another career path and raising a family of three children derailed any thoughts of his noble ambition.

Children grown and ownership of a successful and self-sustaining business make that predilection a reality today.  With a life full of study and interest in history, particularly the military variety, and a reading library full of some of fictions greatest novelists, it only made sense that he pursue his passion drawing upon those inherent experiences, attended by a personal conviction that good always triumphs over evil.

Ghosts of the Past is his first endeavor, created over several years of being drawn back into his creative awakening.  It has been the catalyst for his second novel, Setareh Doctrine, which is the first book in the Themis Cooperative thriller series due to be released in early summer of 2021.  Look for Caracas Connection to follow in early 2022.

Patriot Gold Group Looks Ahead to 2021 as «Visionary 2020 Election Protection» Becomes Reality

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bigger government, more government intervention, and low interest rates are all likely to persist during a Joe Biden Administration, creating tailwinds for gold.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bigger government, more government intervention, and low interest rates are all likely to persist during a Joe Biden Administration, creating tailwinds for gold.

As our country celebrates Inauguration Day, quite possibly the Super Bowl of our Democracy, we find ourselves in a country which stands divided, questioning the outcome and legitimacy of the election. President-Elect or President Biden depending on the time you are reading this is already ushering in his new Cabinet picks and his policies are quite clear, aggressive fiscal stimulus, Covid-19, higher taxes, structural problems in America, equanimity, and climate change. Bernie Sanders sits atop the powerful Senate Budget Committee and some fear he may use a budget mechanism called ‘reconciliation’ allowing Congress to move expansive, aggressive and expensive legislation without the 60 votes.

Jack Hanney, CEO of the Patriot Gold Group, recently said: «Most believe the current environment looks like 2009-2011 when Obama was President and we had a Democrat House & Senate, the FED quadrupled our money supply, suppressed interest rates to 0% & Gold went up 160% and Silver 440%.» Jack went on to quote Mark Twain: «History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.»  «Bank of America forecasts the Democrats will inject another $4 Trillion in deficit spending which could bring the USD sharply lower in coming weeks,»  «Liz Weikes, Managing Director and Financial Advisor at JP Morgan Securities recently stated, «In terms of preparing portfolios, we’ve certainly seen a shift from equities.»

Gold American Eagle sales were up 455% in 2020 as demand skyrocketed as smart investors sought safe haven from a record breaking expansion in the money supply, record federal budget deficit spending and quantitative easing set to infinity. Silver American Eagle sales increased over 100% in 2020 as The United States experienced a nationwide coin shortage and The FED added $3.1 Trillion to our deficit. Goldman Sachs raised their 2021 forecast to $2300 an ounce and Wells Fargo stated «Now Is The Time To Buy Gold». Bloomberg Intelligence along with Saxo Bank recently projected Silver to soar to $50 an ounce in 2021 powered by loose monetary policy along with the push for ‘green energy’.
